Hi all,
My 3.5mo baby pretty much always sleeps with her head facing the same way and I’m worried this is affecting the shape of her head. We do try to turn her head the other way when she’s asleep but this often wakes her up (she’s not easy to get to sleep in the first place and then sleeps really lightly), or when it doesn’t wake her up she stirs a few minutes later and turns back the original way anyway. We try not to have her lying down all the time but we can’t avoid it when she’s asleep. My partner has suggested trying to find a wedge shaped pillow but I am so worried about SIDS.
Any advice or reassurance? If her head is misshapen by this will it resolve itself?
Thanks in advance!
